"Norann and I are happy to be sponsors for the Martin Luther King Health Clinic. We know that each dollar contributed is used very efficiently to deliver health care to people who really need it. We are impressed with the high number of clients returning for follow-up care in this clinic. We very much appreciate that many health care providers in the community volunteer their services at no charge. All of these factors make it easy for us to choose the MLK Health Clinic for charitable giving each year."
